Demand Today Is For Gas Having as High a Calorific or Heating Value as Possible as Well as a High Illuminat- ing Value—Change Because of In- creased Use For Cooking and In Arts. [By Frank Koester, consulting civic engl- neer.] Gas, one of the oldest of modern street lighting systems, although hard pressed by the advance of electricity, has reached a point beyond which it is not likely to be driven. This is principally due to the fact that great inventions have been made, producing a marked improvement in the brillian- cy of gas lighting, and to the develop- ment of the use of gas for heating. As in the case of steam power plants, gas plants should be located on a wa- ter front. Owing to the great size of the hold- ers, gas plants have never been made acceptable in an architectural sense. and they should therefore be located in the outskirts of the city or in factory districts where their ugliness will not be so noticeable. If this is not feasi- ble- they should be painted a silver slate color instead of the usual red to tender them less conspicuous. The demand today is for a gas bhav- ing as high a calorific or heating valuc as possible as well as a high illuminat- MUNIGIPAL GAS WORKS, THE-MAIN. FRANKFORT-ON- ing value, where a fe-v years ago the demand was principally for illuminat- ing power. This change has been brought about by the increased use of 8as for cooking and in the arts. Coal gas should have a heating value of not less than 550 British thermal units per cubic foot, whilc water gas is usu- ally higher. In many towns a com- bination of coal gas and water gas is used. For instance, in New York, where this plan is adopted, recent tests made showed an average of 756.2 Brit 1sh thermal units and an average illu minating power of 28.8 candlepower. Water gas is produced by the de- composition of steam in contact with incandescent carbon. The process con- sists in alternate “blows” with air to heat the fuel and “runs” with steam, which is decomposed by the incandes- cent fuel, continuing to form water gas until the temperature becomes too low, necessitating another” period ot heating. In the carbureted water gas process the fuel in the generator is burned by the air blast only to a sufficient degree of heat to form principally carbon monoxide. Another process much in vogue in Europe produces about twice as much water gas for the same amount of fuel. In this process the volume of air during the blows is so proportioned to the bed of fuel and the apparatus is so designed that in- stead of carbon monoxide carbon diox- 1de is formed, developing three times the heat from the fuel that is devel- oped when it is burned only to carbon monoxide. In this process coke 1s therefore converted into water gas with a maximum of economy, trans- ferring to the gas about 70 per cent of the heating value of the fuel. It is the practice abroad to_use seam- less welded steel tubing for the dis- tributing mains instead of cast iron pipe. The steel pipes have for gas mains the advantages similar to the use of steel pipes for water mains, al- ready pointed out. They are lighter in weight, easicr to handle, have fewer Joints, are not subject to breakage and when laid are free from leakage, be sides lasting longer. What has been said about. the gen. eral arrangement of water mains and bypassing is equally applicable to gan mains in order to prevent leakage and -inconvenience. Where gas pipes enter bulldings there should be accessible cut-off valves, so that in case ot fire the. fire department may cut oft tie Ras for that narticular bunilding A Buropean violin instructor has invented a diagram printed on pa- per to be pasted on the neck of an Anstrument to show a pupil where to “place his fingers to produce desired ' motes.

Promoted for. Service in_ Saving His Troop! For "distinguished service in the field Lieutenant General Sir Dougl Haig, one. of England’s great com- manders, was promoted to the rank of general. He was mentioned as de- serving special praise by General Sir John French in his report on the desperate fighting of the British on the retreat from Mons to the Marne. The first division under General Haig was heavily engaged in a dangerous position at night, but chiefly through |H the skill of its commander, according to General French, succeeded in get- ting out and resuming its retreat. General Haig served in the Sudan and South African wars. Because it will be necessary for him to accompany the local high school basketball team, of which he is the coach, to MclIntosh, Friday, Julius Bestul, guard on the “Big Be- midg"” quint will be unable to par- ticipate in one of the three contests cheduled with the fast Chaska quint. Bestul is considered one of the fastest men on the quint and his loss will be keenly felt. The ladies of the G. A. R. and the members of the post, will hold a joint installation of officers, Saturday, Jan- uary 9, at the Odd Fellows hall. Lunch will be served to the members of the post and circle after the busi- ness meeting. Theo. Moreton, of Minneapolis, is in Minneapolis today. Mr. Moreton expects. to locate permanently, in either this city or Kelliher. Dave H. Williams, trainmaster of this division on the Soo Line, spent yesterday in Bemidji.
